Which Will have the "Maul" Impact on the general audience ?

[Hunter Rider]

OR

They both have a cool factor that could make them the new Darth Maul with audiences,which of these 2 do you think will capture the general publics attention the most and have them talking as they exit the cinema ?

Venom. He's actually a bad ass villain who won't get much screen time, but will capture audiences the same way maul did. plus the whole dying prematurely thing. SS is a cool character, but he'll be a good guy through most of the movie, or at least the secon half.

Venom - are you kidding?! As cool as Silver Surfer is... Venom is just going to wreak havoc! And no one is going to even see FF2... I was at the midnight show in downtown New York City for the first FF... and it had about 30 people...

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Silver surfer is about as epic an enemy you can ask for in a comic book movie.

 

[Rez]

Doesn't matter, Venom has his ass beat cold.

 

[CrypticOne]

Even though Silver Surfer is a better character than Venom, to me at least, Venom will have the "Maul" impact without a doubt.

 

[C.F. Kane]

Venom

I think he's much more visually affecting than a shiny man

(as cool as the surfer is normally)

 

[Galactus]

Considering Spider-Man 3 most likely will get a bigger audience than FF 2 I'd say Venom

 

[Gonking]

How can you compare Venom with Silver Surfer?

Venom. No contest.

 

[Warhammer]

Maybe they both will, but Venom will definitely have most of it.
He won't have as much screen time as Silver Surfer will.

I am also anticipating Venom a bit more than Silver Surfer.

 

[nocomics]

Venom will have that 'Maul' effect more so than Silver Surfer for various reasons:
1.Spidey will have larger audience for sure.
2.Venom is a dark evil character and like Maul ppl love that bad guy role.
3.Silver Surfer will have that comparison to Terminator 2's T-1000 so that 'WoW' factor is already gone. Been there done that!!

 

[Lobo]

Venom

 

[lordofthenerds]

Venom, since he already is a more popular and well known character than Silver Surfer. Plus I'm anticipating his appearance more myself.

 

[Karea07]

Venom. No contest.

More people will see Spider-Man 3 than Fantastic Four 2, without a doubt.

 

[Sentinel X]

I have to go with Venom because the look of his charecter is so unique just like Maul's. Where as, although SS is unique...audiences have already seen T-1000 which had a similar audience reaction as Maul. I'm really digging SS look but Venom wins in this contest. Perhaps if there was no T2 that be a different story.
Personally, Im not too fond of Venoms look so far...his head is too big for his body

Venom so far looks the more villainous of the two.

 

[Karea07]

Isn't Silver Surfer just bad to save his planet or something? Where as Venom is just bad because he is evil.

How exactly is Venom's look unique and Silver Surfer's isn't ?
If you just break it down to the basics , Venom looks just like Spidey , except he's black and has a a mouth with teeth and a tongue. He has all the powers/abilities of Spidey
Not terribly unique there.

SS may look like the T-1000 but in all honesty SS is unique in that
1 He flies and T-1000 doesn't
2 He morphs thru solid objects and doesn't turn his body into liquid metal
3 He can fire energy blasts ( i think ; based on this image) and the T-1000 is just someone who stabs people

He's far better then the T-1000.
Anyways going back the the topic ias much as i would like SS to be the Darth Maul , i think it's going to be Venom.
Why ? Simple : Pure Evil

If there is one thing that make characters like Venom loved is that they are just evil and show no remorse and can go toe to toe with the hero.
Look at Agent Smith in The Matrix. He's someone who everybody loves and he can kick neo's ass ( well untill Neo becomes the one).
Same with the T-1000 in Terminator. He's just pure evil. Just goes on killing.

That's what's going to happen with Venom. He's just there to kill Peter and he will pretty much own Spidey in his fight.

SIlver Surfer starts off as the villain but slowly becomes more sympathetic.

 

[OtepApe]

I hate to say it, but it's probably Venom.

Yeah, more people will go see Spidey 3, but also Venom is the sort of character that has this 'coolness' about him. Personally, I hate the character, but something like Venom has never been seen on screen before and that'll give him this anticipation factor that'll be hard to beat. As much as I loved the F4 trailer, I kept thinking of T-1000 when I saw SS.

 

[CAH]

(sarcastically) Who's Darth Maul?



t:

Obviously Venom. The Silver Surfer will be *****slapped by the symbiote's monster!


CAH

 

[xwolverine2]

i dunno... im not sold on the silver surfer. just looks like another t-1000... nothing new to me.

 

[Darth Elektra]

Venom, however people could get pissed if he's only in it for a few minutes.

 

[Darth Rockwell]

is that an actuall venom movie capture?
